Now a man from the house of Levi went and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hid
him three months.
And when she could hide him no longer she took for him a basket made of bulrushes, and
daubed it with bitumen and pitch; and she put the child in it and placed it among the
reeds at the river's brink.
And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would be done to him.
Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked beside
the river; she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to fetch it.
